Gymnastics is a collection of physical exercises requiring a lot of strength, agility, balance, and flexibility. It is closely related to circus performing skills as athletes put their bodies to the fullest use. Likewise, there are various disciplines for gymnasts to showcase their talents. Thus, it evolved from ancient Greeks that included skills to mounting to dismounting a horse. The competitive form of gymnastics is called artistic gymnastics. It involves various events for women like the floor, vault, uneven bars, and the beam. For men, they have floor, vault, rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bars. Therefore, the sport is famous for its aesthetic values and the Olympics draws major crowds to the gymnastics arena.

<h3>History of Gymnastics</h3>
Gymnastics originated from the Greek term, 'to exercise naked,' applied in ancient Greece exercises. These exercises became a mainstay at the Olympics but most of the competition came from ancient roots. There are stone engravings found in Shandong province during <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/gymnastics/Gymnasts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Han Period</a> (206?<span class="text-smallcaps">BCE</span>?220?<span class="text-smallcaps">CE) where they portrayed acrobatics. Like every sport, the person credited for making the sport famous was Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, founder of the Turnverein movement as he helped to spread gymnastics across the world. </span>

<span class="text-smallcaps">Most of the exercises were conducted on the playground. Therefore, various events came into existence. They held the first Gymnastics festival in 1860 in Coburg. The Americans were introduced to Gymnastics in the late 1820s while the Federation Internationale Gymnastique was founded in 1881 to organize the event. The 1896 Olympic Games saw the starting stages of gymnastics being introduced to the world.?</span>
<h3>The Sport</h3>
There are three divisions of artistic gymnastics- artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline. There are six <a href="https://completegymnastics.com/gymnastics-disciplines-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events</a> for men and the all around event where they combine scores from every discipline. For women, there are four exercises and a similar all around event, both team and individual events. Apart from artistic gymnastics, there is rhythmic gymnastics and is practiced only by women. Trampoline is the other discipline of gymnastics and introduced itself at the 2000 Olympic Games. As years pass by, various gymnasts showcased their athletic skills to the masses in attendance.

<h3>Famous gymnasts in the world</h3>
<strong>Simone Biles:</strong>

In terms of pure dominance, Simone Biles enters the list as arguably the greatest gymnast of all time. She is the <a href="https://www.rookieroad.com/gymnastics/top-6-best-womens-players-of-all-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most decorated</a> gymnast in the World Championships, winning four gold, one silver, and two bronze medals. The 2016 Rio Olympics saw her winning four gold medals and completely dominated the events. She has 25 World Championships medals to her name and her stance on mental health helps her become an influential person in the society.

<strong>Larisa Latynina:</strong>

Winning nine gold medals at the Olympics is astonishing and Larisa Latynina ranks on top of the famous gymnast charts. After Michael Phelps, she has the most Olympic medals with 18.

<strong>Nadia Comaneci:</strong>

Achieving a perfect 10.0 score in gymnastics is amazing. But, doing it at the Olympics, when just turning 14, placed Nadia Comaneci amongst the pantheon of greats. The 1976 Olympics saw her earning seven perfect scores. She won five Olympic gold medals out of the nine she won.

<strong>Svetlana Khorkina:</strong>

With a total of 47 Olympic, World and European Championships medals, Svetlana Khorkina is a remarkable gymnast. She became the first gymnast to win three all-around titles at the World Championships while winning five gold medals in the uneven bars at World Championships. Her success in the uneven bars earned her the moniker 'The Queen of Bars.'

<span style="font-weight: 400">Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Paris Olympics 2024 logo</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic). </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024  </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Anyone can buy the tickets through the official Paris 2024 website. Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing. </span>

Millions of spectators are anticipated to attend various events across the 41 venues in Paris. Around 10,500 athletes from all over the world will participate in various sports and events during the games. The French team is automatically qualified as the host country. But, other teams have to win the world championship, their confederation&#8217;s tournament, or be among the top 17 in the Olympic Ranking List for the Paris Olympics 2024 qualification.  Additionally, approximately 20,000 accredited journalists will be covering the event, providing global updates and insights to audiences. Volunteers, numbering around 31,500, will assist in various capacities to ensure the smooth running of the games. Moreover, the Athletes&#8217; Village will serve over 600,000 meals daily to athletes, coaches, staff, and officials during the event. What are the major events? According to the Paris Olympics 2024 schedule, it will feature 329 medal events across 32 sports. This year, as a brand new attraction, these games will include one brand new sport: breaking. Other than these, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing will be back at the Olympics after debuting at the Tokyo Olympics.

And, the surfing will occur in Teahupo&#8217;o, in Tahiti. This is a French overseas territory in the South Pacific. Paris Olympics 2024 brings something new! Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community.  Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression. However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity. With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport. Paris Olympics 2024 logo The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos.  The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic).  Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named &#8220;Olympic Phryg,&#8221; inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named &#8220;Les Phryges&#8221; will represent the Olympics as mascots.  What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games. The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit.  After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame.  Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world&#8217;s attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games. How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024   Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a &#8220;first come, first served&#8221; basis.

<h2><b>Simone Biles Net Worth 2024, Husband, and Achievements</b></h2>
[caption id="attachment_1074513" align="alignnone" width="469"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-1074513" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1180798360-469x315.jpg" alt="Simone Biles" width="469" height="315" /> STUTTGART, GERMANY - OCTOBER 13: Simone Biles of The United States poses for photos with her multiple gold medals during day 10 of the 49th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships at Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle on October 13, 2019 in Stuttgart, Germany.

<h2><b>Simone Biles Net Worth</b></h2>
Simone Arianne Biles is one of the most decorated American artistic gymnasts. As of 2024, her net worth is around $16 million. Apart from the cash prizes from various events and tournaments, endorsements have added a lot to the gymnast's worth. Biles has partnered with Athleta, SK-II skincare products, Visa, United Airlines, Spieth America gymnastics equipment, Uber Eats, MasterClass and Facebook Watch, Mondelez's Oreo brand, Core Power fitness shake Candid teeth aligners, GK Elite gymnastics apparel.

Apart from medals and endorsements, Biles also invested in the real estate market. Back in 2017, Biles listed her 3711 sq. ft. childhood home in Texas at $289,000 for sale. Presently, she is overseeing the construction of her new home with beau Jonathan Owens. While not much detail has been revealed about the house, the property is said to be on a highway in Texas.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Family</b></h2>
Simone Biles' family comprises her parents and biological and adoptive siblings. Simone Biles also considers her pet dogs – French Bulldogs, a female and male named Lilo and Rambo – a part of her little family. Biles' adoptive parents are Ronald Biles and Nellie Biles. She has her own younger sister, Adria Biles, and two elder adoptive brothers named Adam and Ron Biles Jr.

Her extended family includes Ron Biles Jr.'s wife, Sammi Biles, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-gymnastics-news-baby-girl-is-already-so-loved-simone-biles-welcomes-baby-biles-to-her-adorable-family/">baby Biles, the little angel the family welcomed in November 2022. </a>She also has two estranged biological siblings, a sister named Ashley Biles Thomas, and a brother, Tevin Biles. The siblings got separated at a young age after being adopted by different families.
<h2><b>Early Life and Childhood</b></h2>
Simone Biles was born to Shannon Biles on March 14, 1997. Her biological father, Kelvin Clemons, was absent from her life since the beginning. Supporting four kids while battling alcoholism and drug addiction proved hard for Shanon Biles. Because of this, the young Biles siblings ended up in foster care for years. Biles was just three years old when she was separated from her biological mother and put into foster care. However, three years later, the Biles siblings were adopted by their maternal grandfather Ron Biles.

Simone Biles' <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-gymnastics-news-dont-call-and-dont-visit-simone-biles-biological-mother-was-forbidden-from-seeing-the-gymnastics-star-after-her-adoption/">biological mother was prohibited from contacting the gymnast after the adoption</a>. Simone was six when Ron and his wife, Nellie, adopted the Biles siblings. But soon it became difficult for the couple to take care of six young kids (2 biological and four adopted.) Eventually, Simone Biles' two elder biological siblings, Ashley and Tevin, were adopted by their grand aunt, Harriet.

Ron and Nellie were able to provide a safe and permanent home to little Simone and Adria. The healthy environment helped the young girls to focus on their education and explore their interests. This was also how Simone Biles found her way to gymnastics. Biles was just 6 when she saw teenage gymnasts practicing in the gymnasium during a daycare field trip.

Engrossed in her observations, she started imitating the moves of the teenagers. The coaches noticed this at the gym and wrote a letter addressed to Biles' parents suggesting enrolling her in a training center. Considering that, the couple enrolled Biles in Bannon's Gymnastix Center, which in turn became her first step towards her decorated gymnastics career.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' NFL husband Jonathan Owens</b></h2>
Simone Biles is married to the NFL safety, Jonathan Owens. The two first crossed paths during the Houston Texans' game in 2019. However, they officially met through Raya, a dating app, during the pandemic in March 2020. Reportedly, it took just about a month for the NFL player to fall for the gymnast.

They made their relationship Instagram official in August 2020. After dating for nearly two years, Jonathan Owens popped the big question in February 2022.

[caption id="attachment_1942013" align="alignnone" width="473"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-1942013" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1437383254-473x315.jpg" alt="Simone Biles" width="473" height="315" /> HOUSTON, TEXAS - OCTOBER 28: Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens pose on the field prior to Game One of the 2022 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on October 28, 2022 in Houston, Texas.

Then in April 2023, the couple got married in an intimate courthouse wedding ceremony in Houston, Texas. Following this, the pair once again exchanged vows in an opulent destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, in the presence of their friends, families, and close-knit acquaintances.

Recently, Owens faced criticism when he admitted that he did not know well who Simone Biles was when they matched on the dating app Raya. Biles' fans were disheartened to know that Owens hadn't heard of Biles even after her 2016 Olympic run.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Records and Achievements</b></h2>
Throughout Simone Biles's decorated <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/gymnastics-2/gymnastics/">gymnastics</a> career, she has won numerous accolades. She has 7 Olympic medals – four gold, one silver, two bronze. Her recent comeback at the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, added a lot more medals to her bag. She has won 30 World Championship medals – 23 gold, four silver, and three bronze – making her the most decorated gymnast in World Championships history.

<h2><b>Simone Biles' gymnastics comeback and Paris Olympics 2024</b></h2>
The 7X Olympic medalist took a break from competitive tournaments to focus on her mental health. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she experienced the phenomenon known as <i>"the twisties,"</i> in the wake of which she withdrew from the event. The case of 'twisties' occurs when a gymnast loses control of their body while performing twists in the air. This incident prompted Biles to become one of the first athletes to discuss mental health and prioritize it over competition openly.

Biles is now all set to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The 26-year-old made it big at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in August winning her eighth all-around title. She also set a record for most international gymnastics medals by winning her sixth all-around title at the world championships in Belgium in October. Her comeback is a testament that she has prepared hard to pick up from where she left off in Tokyo.

Overcoming the twisties, this comeback marked a crucial milestone in her journey toward the upcoming Olympic games. She continues to prioritize her mental well-being and is undergoing therapy to strengthen her mental approach to her craft.

Throughout her journey, Jonathan Owens has been a supportive partner, standing by her side through thick and thin.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Physical Regime</b></h2>
During the prime season, Simone Biles trains for 42 hours per week. These 42 hours are divided into seven hours per day, six days a week. Simone Biles takes an off from her training on Sunday. Of the six training days, Biles trains twice a day for four days, including Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. She trains just once a day on Thursday and Saturday. Her morning training sessions start at 9 am and end at noon. Whereas, the time for the afternoon session is from 3 to 6 pm.

Her routine includes running and stretching every part of the body. The stretching is done before and after the practice to warm up and cool down consecutively to help the muscles. For her competitions, Biles uses the cross-training method which includes running, swimming, and biking. Her routines comprise exercises like superman and hollow holds, regular and single-leg V-ups, scissors, and pulses for abs. The full-body workout includes the plie squats, superman lifts, boat holds, hip raises, and glute kickbacks. The bodyweight workout includes bear planks with butt kicks, crab reaches, wall walks, push-ups to plank jack knives and pike presses.

Here is a summary of how long she does the various regimes.

Swimming on Day 1-: 1 mile
Biking on Day 2-: 10 miles
Intense abs routine on Day 3-: 11 rounds
Full body on Day 4-: 30 minutes
Bodyweight workout on Day 5-: 30 seconds of each exercise for 3 rounds
Running on Day 6-: 3.1 Miles
Rest on Day 7

During the US Classic in 2013, Simone Biles introduced the floor exercise skill, which was a double layout with a half twist at the podium training. As Biles successfully performed it at the 2013 World Championships, the skill was ultimately named after her.

Simone Biles Net Worth 2024, Husband, and Achievements

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9"><b>Suni Lee: 2024 net worth, stats, salary, and more</b></h2>
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2617432 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/image-1080x1080-2024-02-06T103040.582-1-315x315.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" />
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Sunisa Lee, aka Suni Lee? </b></h2>
Sunisa Lee a.k.a. Suni Lee is a Hmong American artistic gymnast. She is the 2020 Olympic all-around champion and uneven bars bronze medalist.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Suni Lee’s early life</b></h2>
Suni Lee was born on 9th March 2003 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. She was raised by her mother, Yeev Thoj, and her mom's longtime partner John Lee. However, not much is known about Suni's biological father. Her mother is a refugee who immigrated to the US from Laos as a child. Suni was raised by her mother and her longtime partner John Lee since she was two. She has three half-siblings - Evionn, Lucky, and Noah.

At six years old, Lee started gymnastics at the Midwest Gymnastics Center in?Little Canada, Minnesota. The following year, Lee began competing and won the all-around at a state meet.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Suni Lee’s net worth in 2024</b></h2>
From all her earnings, medal victories, and salary, Suni Lee has an estimated net worth of $3 million. She earned $75,000 in earnings from Tokyo with her medal victories. Back after returning from Tokyo, she partnered with the Pearson+ app to boost her earnings. Hence, with all that in place, she could be making $100,000 in a jiffy. Then, she joined the Dancing With The Stars competition and earned a lot of wealth. According to reports, the DWTS contestants earn $125,000 in rehearsal and the first two weeks while the maximum they can earn is $295,000.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Suni Lee’s career timeline</b></h2>
Known for her skills at a very young age, Lee started competing in 2016 at the U.S. Classic. She attended Auburn University on a gymnastics scholarship and has been a regular there. After her successful career, she competed at the 2018 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships and won the gold medal in the team final competition while also claiming the silver medal for vault, balance beam, and floor exercise. Her breakthrough came at the 2019 US National Championships. After Simone Biles won most of the events, she claimed first place in the uneven bars event.

During that competition, she claimed the gold medal for uneven bars, the silver-medal in the all-around competition, and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://usagym.org/pages/athletes/athleteListDetail.html?id=467541" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won </a>the bronze medal for the floor competitions. Due to her sensational performances in that competition, she earned herself a place with the US national gymnastics team. With Simone Biles withdrawing from the gymnastics competition, she took the opportunity to provide a sensational performance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Winning medals were on her agenda as she won the gold medal for the all-around event and excited the gymnastics fraternity. Her graceful movements and incredible leaps were a sight to behold. Soon after, she won the silver medal for the team gymnastics competition while she only claimed bronze for her signature uneven bars competition. Her career has leapfrogged from there and is doing well in different competitions.

After her successful events in Tokyo, she took part in the famous Dancing With The Stars competition. Lee partnered Sasha Farber and showed promise in the competition, only to finish fifth in the end.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sunisa Lee’s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
In 2023, Suni Lee signed an NIL deal with Crocs as the footwear company hoped the involvement of the 2020 Olympian will help boost its sales. She also has deals with CLIF bar, Amazon, Gatorade, Invisalign and Target (among others), which make up a worth of reported $1.5 million. In 2022, On3 NIL had estimated that Lee could make $21,000 per post with her 3.5 million social media followers at the time. There have also been reports that she is potentially making $100,000 for each sponsored post.

My focus at this time is my health and recovery</em>". She further added, "<em>Auburn, thank you for the best two years of my life and for giving me the opportunity to make history alongside this amazing group. I am forever grateful for this community</em>".

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9"><strong>Suni Lee's return to gymnastics</strong></h2>
Suni Lee has been teasing her fans with videos from the gym of her performing crazy tricks on several apparatuses. The former Auburn star was all smiles during her time on the competition floor at the U.S. Classics. The Hmong-American athlete showed her peak form by posting the beam event?s second-best score behind the legendary Simone Biles. But she managed to win the top score in the vault and earn the qualifying score for the two events in the World Championships.

It was a very emotional moment for her because she wasn?t sure of her body. She had not been able to train regularly because her kidney problems often left her feeling fatigued and in pain. On top of that, she had to carry the pressure of the expectations that come with being an Olympian. Despite these challenges, she pushed through and is still on track for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Suni Lee's relationship </b></h2>
The gymnast is currently in a relationship with American football line breaker Jaylin Smith. Though it is not known when and where the couple first met, Suni Lee made her relationship Instagram official in January 2022. Smith is a University of Southern California football player and plays for the Trojans. He also was a part of rapper Snoop Dogg's documentary, 'Coach Snoop'. It followed the lives of several athletes of Smith's age.
